Nut Allergy

Peanut and Tree nut allergies are increasing in frequency and are the most common allergy in both adults and children. There is a difference between the two allergies but there can be cross sensitivity between the groups. They are the group of foods most likely to cause a severe, or Anaphylactic, reaction. Professional diagnosis and care is required to test for food allergies, and complete exclusion of the food type is often recommended due to the severity of some reactions. Never try to self diagnose, or expose yourself to a known allergen, seek advice from a specialist.
